Items likely to be forcibly removed from my possession by test authorities:
–cough drops (possibly considered “food or drink,” both of which are forbidden)
–ear plugs (which, for some ungodly reason, are listed as “not allowed” in the MPRE fine print)
My response to the above possibilities:
–Do you really want to face the wrath of a room full of students forced to listen to my persistent snuffling and hacking without my cough drops? Seriously.
–Since when did ear plugs become unethical? I mean, especially if you’re taking away cough drops during cold season! I think the test authorities are just screwing with us at this point. Next they’ll take away, like, blinking privileges. Because blinking can be used to transmit answers from person to person via morse code.
Oy.
